“Here’s what I know for sure: hand your dream only to people who’ve proven their stewardship—six months of reserves in the bank, a 740-plus credit score, and a vote of confidence from someone whose name truly matters. I’ve hit all of those benchmarks at some point in my entrepreneurial journey, so the guidance I share comes from lived experience, not wishful thinking."

Before You Work With Anyone, Make Sure They’ve Done This

“Here’s what I know for sure: hand your dream only to people who have skin in the game —six to twelve months of reserves in the bank, a 740-plus credit score, and an endorsement from a public figure (whose name truly matters). I’ve hit all of those benchmarks in my 12 year entrepreneurial career, so the guidance I share comes from lived experience, not wishful thinking."

WHAT CAN I
DO FOR YOU?

Dom Trademarks & Patents.png
    • Protect your ideas before they get copied (®, ©, and patents)
       

    • Set up your business the right way from the start (LLC, systems, searchability, structure)
       

    • Automate what drains you (AI implementation & workflow automations)
       

    • Organize your backend so your business can grow without breaking
       

    • Lock in new, recurring revenue and teams

    • Real marketing & branding—not just tapping “boost” on IG and hoping for the best

    CHECK BELOW TO GET THE FULL DETAILS ON WHAT

    VALUE I CAN BRING YOU!

  • Proof — Trademark. In 2008 a highway brainstorm with my little brothers became WAFL®. I filed it myself, answered Nike’s opposition, and now hold 18 approvals out of 19 USPTO filings.


    Proof — Patent. Drafted my own utility-patent spec for a food-tech device, hired an attorney only for the claim section, and—after an initial USPTO rejection—devised the winning response that secured the grant and anchors a $5 M IP valuation.


    Principle. Intellectual property belongs on line 1 of your balance sheet because it attracts capital, partners, and leverage—even when revenue is still $0.
    Process (on our call).


      1️⃣ Spot every registrable element in your name, likeness, product, or content.
      2️⃣ Run a conflict search and map the right USPTO classes or patent route.
      3️⃣ Hand you a one-week filing plan—DIY instructions or full service by me.


    Outcome. Walk away knowing exactly how to secure your brand before a more strategic player does.
    Next step. Tap “Book With Dom”—we’ll scope the audit, and you’ll receive a personalized roadmap within 24 hours.

  • Proof — Operations. As Operations Manager at Nuro, I shepherded 32 cross-functional projects from concept to approval and built the daily playbooks that lifted our autonomous-fleet “on-road” readiness from ≲ 80 % to a steady 98 % for an entire month, while launching last-mile delivery partnerships with Chick-fil-A and Kroger.

    Proof — Growth. Created The Yummy Box BO-PIL (buy-online, pick-up-in-locker) platform for Gatlin’s BBQ—cut customer pick-up time from 2-5 min to ≤ 90 sec and freed staff to focus on higher-value tasks instead of order hand-offs.

    Principle. Repeatable workflows beat raw hustle; when the system carries the load, discipline turns into a by-product—not a daily struggle.
    Process (on our call).

      1️⃣ Map your value stream and expose the choke-points draining time or margin.
      2️⃣ Layer automations (Zapier, Airtable, custom scripts) and field-tested SOP templates.
      3️⃣ Hand you a 30-day rollout schedule—DIY or full implementation led by me.

    Outcome. Leave with a plug-and-play workflow that eliminates missed emails, inventory chaos, and duplicate work—so you scale without adding hours.

    Next step. Click “Book With Dom”—we’ll pinpoint quick wins, and you’ll get a step-by-step implementation deck within 48 hours.

  • Proof — Formation. Filed and maintain six Texas LLCs and secured a Certificate of Authority for New Jersey, covering Sales & Use Tax, EINs, operating agreements, and equity agreements—every entity clean, compliant, and banker-ready.

    Proof — Search-ability. Built and optimized waflplus.com, traplaments.com, clev.tech, southernqbbq.com, and thisisitsoulful.com with dialed-in title tags, schema, AI-driven content clusters, and tight branding—each site now ranks for its core keywords and drives steady organic leads.

    Proof — Structure. Turned scattered Google Drives into department-based folders with strict naming conventions, layered Trello boards for project flow, and organized Slack channels by function—file-hunt time dropped to under 30 seconds and team hand-offs run on autopilot.

    Principle. Legal entity + online discoverability + internal order = the invisible infrastructure that investors, lenders, and top-tier partners look for first.
    Process (on our call).
      1️⃣ Form — Choose best-fit state, draft or refine certificate of formation/authority, EIN, operating & equity agreements.
      2️⃣ Find — Run a searchability audit: SEO foundations, Google Business profile, AI content gaps, brand consistency.
      3️⃣ File — Deploy the Drive-as-Departments framework + Trello/Slack blueprint so every doc and task has a home.
    Outcome. Walk away knowing your company is legally solid, discoverable online, and internally organized—due-diligence-ready from day one.

    Next step. Click “Book With Dom”—we’ll map your gaps, and you’ll get a 7-day implementation checklist within 24 hours.

  •  Proof — Business Models.
    • Perfection Movers: The founder believed “real movers own trucks,” but capital was tight. I designed an Uber-style fleet model—on-demand rentals, no long-term leases—eliminating heavy maintenance costs and freeing cash for marketing and crew training.
    • The Yummy Box: In 2019—five years before order-ahead lockers went mainstream—I upgraded off-the-shelf lockers into smart, temperature-controlled BO-PIL units at Gatlin’s BBQ, cutting pickup time to ≤ 90 sec.
    • Affordable Luxury Homes: Saw the gap between median-income buyers and rising build costs; created a data-backed model that pairs modest footprints with high-impact finishes—lifting resale value 15-20 % over comps.
     
    Proof — Brand Architecture.
    • Named and trademarked ventures, crafted jingles, brand voice, and logos that pass the “7-second recall” test—so brands stick even in noisy markets.
     
    Principle. Strategy is disciplined imagination: find the constraint, flip it into leverage, then codify the play so it scales long after launch.
     
    Process (on our call).
    1️⃣ Diagnose – map market forces, cost drivers, and customer habits on a single-page canvas.
    2️⃣ Ideate – run my “Constraint-to-Catalyst” sprint to surface three untapped profit models.
    3️⃣ Decide – score each play on margin, speed, and defensibility, then lock a 90-day roadmap.
     
    Outcome. Walk away with a crystal-clear strategic thesis, a revenue model built to last, and brand elements customers remember—and competitors dread.
     
    Next step. Tap “Book With Dom”—receive the canvas template upfront and a prioritized action plan within 24 hours of our session.

  • Proof.
    • Perfection Movers: Re-framed “nobody can do it like me” into a three-step hiring funnel and value-based scorecard—cut time-to-hire from 21 days to 7 days and drove a 92 % 90-day retention rate.
    • WAFL+ / Yummy Box: Staffed a mixed on-site + remote crew (developers, fulfillment partners, VAs) in < 30 days, freeing the founders to focus on product ops while daily tasks ran on SOPs.
     
     
    Principle. You shouldn’t be the system; you should design the system. When you define the exact traits you want, build a recruiting filter around them, and tie every role to a process map, the right people self-select in—and the wrong ones never make it past the front door.
     
    Process (on our call).
    1️⃣ Clarify – extract the founder’s values and translate them into a “Hell-Yes Employee” scorecard.
    2️⃣ Attract – build a lightweight inbound funnel (one-page job brief, knockout form, async video screen) so only aligned candidates reach the interview.
    3️⃣ Embed – hand over 30-60-90-day ramp plans and SOP templates so new hires plug into the workflow instead of reinventing it.
     
    Outcome. Leave with a recruiting & onboarding system that pulls in people who match your energy, work ethic, and standards—and keeps them performing without you babysitting every task.
     
    Next step. Click “Book With Dom”—you’ll get the scorecard template up front and a full recruitment roadmap within 48 hours of our call.

  • Proof — Personal + Business. Re-built my personal score from a dip below 600 back to 740+, then parlayed it into $75 K in 0 % intro-APR business credit lines that financed WAFL+ prototypes without giving up equity.
    The Jay-Z reminder. “You ever wonder why Jewish people own all the property in America? This is how they did it—credit.” — Jay-Z, “The Story of O.J.”

    Principle. Credit is the game’s conversion token: lenders back people until a company proves itself. Most banks waive the personal guarantor only after ≈ $2 M in annual revenue or comparable liquid reserves and 24 + months in business.

    Process (on our call):
      1️⃣ Profile Build — Sequence new trade lines, net-30 vendors, and 0 % cards to lift Paydex/SBSS and FICO in 90 days.
      2️⃣ PG Leverage — Strategically float spend on personal cards to unlock higher business limits, then shift utilization to keep personal DTI < 10 %.
      3️⃣ OPM Flywheel — Recycle 0 % cash-back cards and vendor terms into inventory, marketing, or R&D—so cash earns while credit floats.

    Outcome. Leave with a step-by-step playbook to secure $50 K–$150 K in affordable capital and position your company for PG-free corporate credit as revenue climbs.
    Next step. Click “Book 30-min Credit Strategy Call”—receive your personalized 90-day build plan within 24 hours.

ENOUGH ABOUT ME—

Anjelique Williams
Industry: Entertainment Content & Residential Real Estate

  • Rebuilt the intake experience—swapped clunky Google Forms for branded Typeform + interactive mood-boards, giving the pitch a premium feel that closed a millionaire design client.

  • Crafted a post–commission-change game plan that kept the agent’s value clear and unlocked $17 K in new earnings.

  • Tightened every outbound touchpoint—text, email, and DM—so responses hit faster and deals moved through the funnel smoothly.

John Nelson
Industry: Consumer Goods

  • Engineered the full go-to-market playbook—rebranded the product for mainstream appeal with cultural edge, built a direct-to-consumer model that Airbnb later mirrored, wrote the business plan that unlocked $30 K in funding, and cut production lead-time from 6 weeks to 2

  • Locked down the brand—two USPTO trademarks approved (filed, monitored, and cleared without office actions).

  • Navigated the new e-certificate era—showed the client how to pull their official registration certificates the day they posted, instead of waiting for mail that would never come.

  • Added a presentation-copy flex—walk-through of ordering the USPTO’s hard-stock “vanity” certificate so investors and customers see tangible proof of ownership.

PAY MOM'S A VISIT

In 1989, Spike Lee released Do the Right Thing.

Somewhere along the way, it feels like most of the world forgot about that.

It used to be a time where people would come to your family’s house for dinner. They’d know where your mom stayed. They could personally tell her about the good things—or the bad things—you were doing.

That’s the world I want to live in. A world where everybody just does the right thing.

The guys in suits call it conscious capitalism. That’s fine.

But I call it Doing The Right Thing. So we can do the one thing that matters most: take care of our families.

This is my mom’s house: 2402 Blackridge Rd, Houston, TX 77067.

Like The Game of Life and How to Play It says:
“I do wonderful work for wonderful pay.”

If I ever do anything dishonorable, go see her.

WHAT FEEDS MY BRAIN

You asked what I’m reading, watching, and playing on repeat—so here’s the glass house.

If you could scroll Jay-Z’s watchlist or ride shotgun, you’d grab shortcuts he's spent years discovering. Same idea here: tap an icon, steal the inputs that built my perspective, and use them to level up yours. Each one teach one.
